*This is a collaborative post Costa Rica looks amazing, doesn’t it? I’d say it’s near the top of my list when it comes to countries I’d love to visit. With stunning coastlines, thriving forests and a whole lot of volcanoes, it looks like the place of dreams. In fact, I have been doing a bit of dreaming, and I’ve put together an idea of my perfect Costa Rican Holiday. It starts with one of these beautiful Costa Rica beach homes, because what dream holiday doesn’t start with a villa on the beach right? Sipping cocktails by the pool, strolling down to the beach […]

We all know that money is important to living a happy and healthy life, but the sad truth is that we don’t learn financial lessons as often, or as quickly as we should during our youth. Instead, most of us find ourselves struggling to understand things like debt, investments, and loans when we’re much older, and worried about the big purchases we need to make in life. If you want to give your youngsters a better chance of success as they head out into the financial world, then you could consider teaching them a few basic money lessons while they’re […]

Happy New Year everyone! As is customary at this time of year, I’ve decided to lay down my hopes for the 12 months ahead. I’m definitely not a ‘new year, new me’ kind of person, because I think that’s kinda of bull shit, but I would like to make some positive changes and achieve some big things. I’m not even going to call these my new year’s resolutions, because that phrase just screams ‘Fail in the first week’ doesn’t it? No, instead these are my 2018 Hopes and Dreams. It sounds nicer. 2017 had it’s ups and downs. I’m sure […]

Shopping, whether you love it or you hate it, it’s part of every day life. I sit on the fence a bit, my love for it depends on how much money I have in the bank. Spoiler alert, it’s never very much! When I lived in the city I went shopping a lot. Being close to lots of shops was handy, it made popping in for things easy. Now I live in the middle of no where, and my shopping habits have changed to reflect that. It’s no longer so easy for me just to pop to the shops, and […]

I couldn’t live without the internet. Lets face it, many of us are in that same position. These days, it’s essential for all homes and businesses to have good broadband, like this one from Talk Talk Business. Without it, we would all fall behind, but things haven’t always been this way. Having grown up in the early 90s, I can remember a time when we had to rely on more traditional ways to get through the day. Back when we needed paper maps to find our way around. Or when we had to find out about things via a book […]
